Los Angeles, CA 90024

Warm and inviting right from the curb, this tastefully-updated 1940s East Coast Traditional residence is a true Little Holmby gem. Its location within this fine neighborhood is excellent, sited on a flat, beautifully landscaped, maturely wooded corner lot on one of its most desirable avenues. The front yard, so welcoming, is grassy and private behind a gate and tall hedges. The floorplan here is terrific with its rooms sensibly laid out echoing today's relaxed lifestyle. Charm abounds in every corner with its gleaming hardwood floors, crown moldings, beamed ceilings, nearly new French windows and more. The formal foyer leads to the spacious living room, complete with a brick fireplace and access through French doors to the backyard. The formal dining room, with its wainscoting and cheerful feel, leads to a fabulous butler's pantry with a wine refrigerator and then, to the chef's kitchen. Crisply done in today's white tones, the island kitchen is spacious with quality appliances (including double ovens), breakfast bar seating and lovely vistas of the backyard. There's extensive storage and counter space in the kitchen with ample pantry space as well. The sunny and expansive family room opens directly from the kitchen and features space for a breakfast area and has a paneled wet-bar. The family room opens to the backyard through French doors as well, again highlighting this home's easy indoor-outdoor flow. Completing the downstairs floorplan is a powder room off the foyer, a bedroom suite off the kitchen and a full laundry room/service area. Up a sweeping staircase on the upstairs level are three bedrooms including the very special primary suite taking in skyline vistas of the Wilshire Corridor in the distance. Warmed by another brick fireplace, the primary has two large, extensively customized walk-in closets and a lovely spa-like bath with double-sinks. The other two bright upstairs bedrooms share a very pretty hall bath, complete also with double sinks and a separate tub and shower. Up a separate staircase off the kitchen area is a fabulous, flexible-use space, perfect as a fifth bedroom or as a playroom, gym or office. The backyard is so private and lush, with its grassy expanse, bubbling spa, brick patio and large deck space, the perfect spot for kids' play equipment and for lounging and dining under the sun and stars. Also included is a shed and a kids' playhouse. There's direct access from the garage as well as two zones of central air conditioning and heating, upstairs and down. Very close to UCLA, to Westwood, Brentwood, Century City and Beverly Hills and all the fine shopping and dining each area affords. Located in the desirable Warner Avenue Elementary School District located just a few blocks away. Note regarding the Pool; it exists under the wood deck but is not filled and operational at present.
